Livorno, 1763. Chart of the approaches to New York City, marking Sandy Hook, Newark & Manhattan. From the 'Gazzetiere Americano', published thirteen years before the Declaration of Independence.GAZZ0002

Augsburg: Probst? c.1760. A vüe d'optique of the Port of New York, with a short description in German and French. Of interest are the boats and costumes of the figures. Designed to be used in an optical viewer called a zograscope, the image is reversed, as is the title above the view. The naive colour is standard with this genre of print.LEIZ0002
